DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

"Are you sure it's alright I come in for tea?"

Zero asked from behind as I looked through the flavors of tea I had in stock. "Since when is it a crime to have someone over for tea?"

I asked jokingly and looked over at him. He had made himself comfortable on a barstool by the island and he cocked an eyebrow at me. "As long as it's not an attempt to slip poison in the guests' teas it's not." He retorted. I rolled my eyes and looked at him curiously. "Jasmine, Green Tea, Earl Grey, or Blueberry tea?" I asked. Zero looked at me baffled. "Blueberry tea?" He asked in disbelief.

"It's really good and healthy!" I said defensively. He chuckled and shook his head. "Jasmine is fine." He told me. I nodded and pulled out what I needed to make the tea. I opened the cabinet where the tea cups were located and sighed in frustration.

Right...everyone seems to forget that short girls live here.

"Do you need a hand?" Zero asked as he walked over behind me while I climbed up on the counter. "Yeah...make sure I don't fall." I pleaded. "You do realize you could just ask me to get the cups and not do this the hard way?" Zero asked. I looked over at him and childishly stuck my tongue out at him. I grabbed the two cups I needed and sat them down on the lower shelf of the cabinet. I lost my balance and fell back. I yelped in surprised when I landed in a pair of arms and I looked up to see Zero looking at me with an eyebrow raised.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and he chuckled. "And that's why you shouldn't climb the counter." He told me. I blushed a little and his eyes went red and he put me down on my feet. I looked at him concerned and he dug through his pockets for his tablets. His thirst must be really bad if just blushing is triggering it. When was the last time he had any blood? I know he never drank from Suki because he was tricked into believing she was human, so that must mean the last time he had drank any actual blood might have been...nine months ago?!

I heard Zero curse under his breath and I looked over at him confused. I walked over to him to see what was the problem to see his case that was in his hand was empty. Oh he doesn't have any on him. Zero looked over at me and his eyes flowed red then flickered back to their lavender hue. "Do...you have any tablets?" He groaned. "The only tablet eater is Yuki and she took her whole supply. If you need to calm your thirst it's okay to drink my blood." I assured him. He shook his head and clutched at his throat. "Zero, you have been letting me drink yours, let me return the favor!" I argued.

He glanced over at me again and sighed in defeat. He pulled me into his arms and I moved my hair away from my neck as I tilted my head to the side. I shivered a little when I felt his warm breath against my skin and felt his tongue graze where he wanted to bite. I wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a reassuring squeeze. I flinched a little when I felt Zero sink his fangs into me, a bit harder than normal but the sharp pain faded as quick as it came.

I could hear him drink my blood and I rubbed his back reassuringly when I felt something hit my shoulder that was most definitely blood. Zero's arms tightened their hold around me and I was starting to feel a little light headed. Zero was drinking a bit more than normal which worried me for a moment but I trust Zero and know he will stop soon. His thirst must have been worse than he thought.

Zero pulled away once he was satisfied and he pulled me away a little to look at me. Wasn't a great idea because I didn't realize how much blood he did take till the room started to spin and I clung to him for balance. "Don't-" My eyes widened in surprise when Zero suddenly kissed me deeply. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I returned the kiss and his arms tightened their hold around me.

Zero pulled away and cupped my face. I raised an eyebrow when I recognized the tender warm gaze in his eyes that I haven't seen in a while since he had his memories tampered. "Maybe I should go in that damn river and get that mask out even though you're going to argue with me about it." Zero grumbled.

Wait...did he just mention his mask and my disapproval for that idea?

"You just mentioned...you haven't even mentioned the mask before after your...you remember the mask?" I gasped. "I remember everything." He corrected. My eyes watered and I wrapped my arms around him tightly. I wasn't sure if I was crying from tears of relief or joy. He wrapped his arms around me and held me closely. "I'm hoping those are happy tears." Zero teased. I nodded and buried my face in his shirt.

"They are." I reassured him and pulled away to look at him curiously. "How? I mean...the only thing Kaien and I could of to help you was have Yuuki dispel it but she can't be contacted now." I told him. "I'm not sure...I was drinking your blood and I was going to pull away at first after the first two gulps but then a memory came back and so I drank a bit more and then more started coming back." He admitted.

My blood helped him remember? I thought it was just able to rapidly heal minor wounds. I didn't know I can dispel memory spells as well!
